commentary

Reconstruction contains Manganaro's conjectures. M. tentatively reconstructs the name of the father as Terentiani (in genitive) in his illustration (Fig. 52a), but maintains Tel[...] in his textual reconstruction. The former, he concedes, 'è solo una congettura'. M. restores the text as a tomb of a scribo sacri palatii (an imperial official linked to imperial administation and subsequently recruitment of troops in the provinces). Note also a warning against desecrating the tomb.
